White Oak UK, one of the UK’s largest alternative providers of SME finance, and ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, have today announced a new partnership aimed at offering finance solutions to ASSA ABLOY UK business customers.

The partnership, which is set to be rolled out across the majority of ASSA ABLOY’s B2B brands, will initially commence with Traka, whose intelligent key cabinets and locker solutions enable businesses to secure, manage and audit the use of almost any physical asset. The partnership will also be rolled out to both the Abloy and Mul-T-Lock divisions later this year.

Rob Hulse, Head of Channel Development at White Oak UK said:

“We’re delighted to announce our partnership with ASSA ABLOY, making it easier for their customers to purchase the security and asset management solutions they need. By utilising our Partner Programme, clients have access to a range of flexible finance solutions which enables them to maintain and grow margin, increase sales and improve cash flow to help support businesses across the UK.”

Francesco Surace, UK Finance Director at Traka, continued:

“We are dedicated to satisfying end-user needs for security, safety and convenience and believe that our partnership with White Oak UK demonstrates our commitment by making our solutions more affordable for our business customers.

"White Oak UK was the natural partner of choice due to the high level of service they offer, along with the ease and speed of their applications. We look forward to working with them as we continue to provide unparalleled security solutions across a range of markets.”

What our customers say

We could not have been happier. Banks as usual were a nightmare - they took over six weeks to eventually refuse for vague reasons unexplained. White Oak UK were professional, helpful, friendly, and best of all, fast.
